Template:RQ:Eliot Middlemarch/documentation

Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote George Eliot's work Middlemarch (1st edition, 1871–1872, 4 volumes in 8 parts). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

Volume I, part I (book I, prelude and chapters I–XII). Volume I, part II (book II, chapters XIII–XXII). Volume II, part I (book III, chapters XXIII–XXXIII). Volume II, part II (book IV, chapter XXXIV–XLII).

Volume III, part I (book V, chapter XLIII–LIII). Volume III, part II (book VI, chapter LIV–LXII). Volume IV, part I (book VII, chapter LXIII–LXXI). Volume IV, part II (book VIII, chapter LXXII–LXXXVI and finale).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |volume=IV.
• |2= or |book= – mandatory, the book number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |book=I to |book=VIII.
• |3= or |chapter= – the chapter number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, or |chapter=Prelude or |chapter=Finale.
• |4= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
  • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.

• |5=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
• |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, “some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell”) rather than an actual use of it (for example, “we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset”), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
